Signature Minerals makeup is created using the fewest and the finest ingredients. Each is cosmetic grade and FDA approved.

Hopefully these details will help you better understand the purpose of each ingredient...

Mica is a natural mineral that reflects light from the face creating an illusion of a smoother, softer and more radiant skin tone. It softens fine lines and makes skin texture appear more even and lucid.

Mica is a sheer mineral that can be opalescent and sparkling or completely matte. Color ranges from whitish to blue to green.

Titanium Dioxide is a natural mineral with anti-inflammatory properties that helps reduce skin irritation and redness. It is highly reflective and minimizes fine lines and skin discolorations. Provides natural SPF against UVA and UVB rays.

Iron Oxides are natural opaque mineral pigments used to create the beautiful "earthy" tones in natural mineral makeup.

Zinc Oxide is a natural mineral that calms irritated skin and helps with certain skin conditions such as rosacea. Zinc Oxide gives high coverage and adhesion, adds to water resistance and provides natural SPF.

Ultramarine Blue is a vivid blue pigment used to cool down some foundation tones.

Kaolin Clay is a natural mild clay that provides great coverage, refines pores, absorbs oil and aids in clearing up breakouts. The soothing properties of Kaolin Clay make it ideal for sensitive skin. It is safe for all skin types including dry skin.

Serecite is completely colorless mica mineral that reflects light thereby reducing the appearance of pores, fine lines and wrinkles. Serecite also adds to the water resistance and fade-proof qualities of mineral makeup.

Ferric Ferrocyanide is a pigment that is used to create a wide spectrum of deep blue and green eye colors. While it is approved for cosmetic use on your face and eyes, it has yet to be approved in the US for use on lips. **We no longer use this product because we found we could get the same wonderful deep blue and green colors using mica.**
